76 Scirocco Build

**VW 16v** · 04-20-2010 05:25 AM

looking gooooooood

**motobri** · 06-13-2010 01:32 AM

Finally got her back from body shop-

Fully painted & ready to go back together.

Overwhelming......

Cant get anything mechanical done for about a month so its tiime to get headliner, glass in & work on what I can before I can have wiring & fuel system done.

Some pix from today.....

One of my favorite angles

A little pre-headliner prep

Funny, I was looking back at my first post on this thread & back then I thought I'd have this done in 6 months, HA, I'll be lucky to finish in 6 years!

**motorlager** · 06-13-2010 11:51 AM

Beautiful

You so lucky.

**echassin** · 06-13-2010 09:38 PM

Looks like it was well worth the wait

**fredybender** · 06-13-2010 09:58 PM

God, I'm so jealous of your gaps & fitting...
I hate you... In a good way

**motobri** · 06-14-2010 01:32 AM

Thanks guys. I just wanna drive the sucka!

**clintg60-16v** · 06-14-2010 09:45 PM

"Sehr gut!"

**vwbobby** · 06-14-2010 10:55 PM

maybe i missed it in this thread, but what is the color? maybe name and code ??

**sbvwfanatic** · 06-16-2010 01:38 PM

"subscribed" Very nice build. I'm working on a 1/25 AMT Scirocco and your build is a great source for detail I want to add to my kit.....

**scirocgvnr** · 07-03-2010 09:28 PM

This is an amazing build and an inspiration to all that have an early wasserboxer tucked away.

Did want to mention to you from personal experience that the dynamat is excellent on the floors and doors but not on the roof! as soon as you leave the car out in the sun on a hot day it will start to literally melt and peel the edges and may cause the headliner to sag I would use something similar to the original and use an industrial spray gun to glue it on.

What is the paint color code for the instrument cluster?

Fully painted & ready to go back together.

Crap, didn't think about the Dynamat heating up. These sheets were all glue on the back side & I put the oem insulation in over the Dmat. Just put the headliner in yesterday before reading this

On the colors:
Exterior is Porsche GT silver, not sure of color code, body shop had it in their book.
The cluster is Krylon metallic series dull aluminum -1408 I think.

**clintg60-16v** · 07-05-2010 12:23 AM

I wouldn't worry about the Dynamat too much.

You're using Dynamat Xtreme; I've run the same stuff for three years now, under the hood of my Corrado to replace the underhood foam. Gets exposed to some serious heat...not one sign of an issue, and not one problem with adhesive or melting...

You should be fine.

**dubina4steve** · 07-22-2010 02:39 AM

wow this is a really good build.

**beetlevdubn** · 11-02-2010 07:26 PM

**motobri** · 03-21-2011 12:11 AM

Sorry for the long delay.

Car has been at a shop I thought would move quicker than they did. After months of very slow progress, I had to cut my losses and bring the car home. Way frustrated, almost threw in the towel and put the project in the classifieds. Once I got it back in the garage, I was able to exhale & realize I'm in too deep now to quit.

Spent the day cleaning glass and trying to install what I could. Got the rear sides in with trim, but when I went to get the windshield in, couldn't get it in with the trim in the rubber so for now it's in without the trim. It's new rubber from Vintage and was a bit tight.

Anyone have any success getting trim in after the windshield is in or do I need to pull it & try again?
Tried a search but search no worky for me? I thought there was a good thread about tricks on glass
install????
Contemplating running trim less front & hatch rubber-
Only bummer is I just had all the trim refinished.

Next up is the hatch & the door rubber/glass/regulators.

Mechanically, still need to find someone to finish the fuel system & wiring.

**motobri** · 03-21-2011 01:09 PM

Thanks,

Appreciate the tips.

Same with hatch?

They talk about it a bit in this thread. About 2/3rds the way down that page

It's a lisle tool. I agree with Andy, liberal lubrication and that tool should make it easy for you to get the trim in. If the rubber is warm it may go in better. Push it out in the sun and let it do its thing first? Never done it so report back how it goes!

Yes, I agree. When I want some trim, I find that a well-lubricated tool is best, although I have never noticed whether a warm rubber is easier to insert

Good to see this project moving forward again

**clintg60-16v** · 04-16-2011 06:51 PM

Do this in the sun; you will win!

**d-bot** · 11-09-2011 11:24 PM

any updates?

**sciroccohal** · 11-10-2011 01:39 PM

Good on ya Bri...finally!

Just some opinions; Replace tank, don't recondition....new is only $90.
Please don't cut a hole in the roof. PLEASE!

good luck.

Superb build.

It is awsome to see a rust free 76.
I see that you found some bumper ends,have you found the center rubber pieces.

http://api.viglink.com/api/click?for...13209523363311
I found some here.

I want to get all of the rubeer brand new.I want to keep the push bars.
Nice job with your 76,maybe one of these day we will be in the same parking lot/ GTG.

**finfox** · 12-02-2011 08:03 AM

anyone know where to buy turn signals???

**83mk2scirocco** · 12-02-2011 11:39 AM

Sweet color.

Nice scirocco,
One quick question how did the piece around the rear quarter windows pop out?
I want to take mine out but I dont want to hurt them.

Also is the paint LE7Y?

**motobri** · 01-29-2012 10:40 AM

Got back on it yesterday.
Crap Iphone pix

Window trim in-man, my finger tips are numb.

Hockey sticks on

Door windows, regulator and seals in-need new scrapers and channels

And some plated fun

**fredybender** · 01-29-2012 11:31 AM

Brian, I just need you to get a little bit further on the build and then I'd appreciate it if you could get fed up with it again, so I can take it over, thanks
